BENNETT KA'MINSKY, OF INDIAN-APOIiIS, INDIANA, ASSIGNQR OF ONE-HALF JULIUS M. KAMINSKY, OF INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA.

WATER-FOUNTAIN.

Application filed February 4, 1909. Serial No. 475,997.

To cltwhom it nay concern:

Be it known that I, BENNETT KAMINSKY, of Indianapolis, county of Marion, and State of Indiana, have invented a certain new and useful Water-Fountain; and I do hereby'declare that-the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which like numerals refer to like parts.

The object of this invention is to provide an absolutely pure, and sanitary drinking fountain for schools and other public places.

The chief feature of the invention consists in providing more than two water-discharg-- ing nozzles facingeach other or so disposed as toconcentrate the streams therefrom at one point and preferably at an upward inclination, and free from any interference by any part above the nozzles so that at the point of juncture of said streamsthere will be a eyser-like body of water projected upward y for ashort distance, say two inches or the like. The water, after shooting upwardl drops down and flows away. It is easy or one who desires a drink to apply geyser-like portion of the wategthat bubbles up somewhat'like spring This renders drinking without the easy and agreeable. There. is the pleasure that attends drinkin'gibubbling spring water, and yet it claims:

does not dash against the face or otherwise annoy the erson while drinking.

, The full nature 'of the invention will be understood from the accompanying drawings and the following description and In the drawings Figurel is sideelevation of the device in operation. Fig. 2' is a central vertical section. Fig. 3 is a plan view thereof with the upper portion of the casing removed.

In the drawings 10 represents a stand or the like, to which plate 11 is secured, having a threaded aperture 12 through it to receive the water-supply pipe13. There is a tube '14: that'screws into the aperture 12, and said tube extends upwardly and has a closed head 15, from the sides of which nozzles 16 extend. There may be any number of these nozzleswmorewthantwo, the number shown beingeight located equidistant from each other. -They are curved and extend upwardly, and the outlets areeurvedim' Specification of Letters Patent.

wardly and upwardly and at about equal distances from the central point, those opposite each other being spaced considerably from each other. Theoutlets of these nozzles are so arrangedthat they. will direct nntssnnn casing 22 extending upwardly from it and concentric with the tube 14 and with a bowllike portion 23 above,'surrounding the noz-.

zles.- The to through whic This portion 23 protects the nozzles and keeps the children or others from coming in contact with them or interfering with them, Therefore, the jets 20 seem to issue from the aperture inthe top of the casing of-zthe portion 23 is open,

22 and the portion 23. The waste water flows down'into the casing 22 through the aperture 25 and out through the Waste pipe 26. v v The nozzles may be formed as desired, but the double ogee-sha e shown in Fig. 2 is preferable, as it ten s to retard the violence of the flow of water therethrough and produces a better'result than if t e flow of water were more direct.

By nozzles herein is meant any water outlet or 'orificethrough or from which water is discharged, whether the same be in a tube or projecting nozzle, as herein shown,

'or' the water issuesin streams from more than two orifices provided in some other WW- I What I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent is: 1. A drinking fountain 'includi than two ranged facing each other so as to discharge the water therefrom at an upward incline pg more water discharging nozzles -arthe jets 20'are projected.

tion' and to a single point, whereby a geyserlike jet of water will be thrown upwardly at the point where the streams' of water meet. 1

2. A.c drinking fountain including more than two nozzles disposed equidistant arounda central point with the discharging ends inclined inwardly andupwardly'so as Wardly, substantially as shown.

to discharge the columns of Water against .each other at one point, substantially asset forth.

3. The combination of a stand, a v vatersupply tube extending upwardly therefrom,

- and more than two nozzles leading laterally from the sides of said tube at its upper end and" extending upwardly around a central point with the discharge ends thereof facing each other and turned inwardly 1 and uptral point with the discharge portions lead- -witnesses herein named.

rounding said tube and said nozzles and extending above the nozzles and open at the upper end so that streams of water may discharge from the nozzles through said opening and without touching said casing, and an outlet for waste 'water at the'loWer-end of said casing.

' In Witness where0f," I have hereunto affixed my signature in the presenceof the s BENNETT KAMINSKY.
